What people say, in short
Most people recommend San Telmo, and many people praise the steak, though one diner finds it excellent every time but also pricey. One commenter says it sits on a nice street in the middle of the city and classes it as mid-priced, though some might say higher end. Another suggests booking a seat by the kitchen to watch the charcoal grill, while a diner says the steak defaults to rare, so ask for it cooked more if you want it. Another commenter says San Telmo and Palermo are just kind of mediocre.
